^^^ I'm pretty sure he just means since the inception of ESRB ratings, and I'm pretty sure you knew that's what he meant.

Sorta sad, although not surprising, that almost all of those are either terrible, ports, or terrible ports.

M rated or not, the Wii didn't really cater to the likes of us very well over its 6 year lifespan. I've got like 20 Wii games and that's already more than I really want. Like others, I play it less than any other current gen console and it has the ONLY Zelda game that I really have no desire to finish (don't bring up the CDi crap, Arseen :P).

Hope the Wii U brings some joy back into Nintendo home gaming for me...

Because the ESRB; which produces rating on games wasn't created until 1994 (near the end of the 4th generation of consoles, and a year after the 5th generation of consoles). So, video games from 1993 (start of the 5th generation of consoles)-1972 (the dawn of video games), never had ratings, much less M-ratings. This is where your statement isn't entirely true. Have a nice day. ;D

I am just stating this, and I don't want to start a fight, but "have a nice day" was a dick move. You state you don't want people to hate you, but you definitely sure do try to stay on everyones good side with your sarcasm.

Obviously the ESRB has not been out "all" games, I was stating that "every new game has a rating, and your logic is stating "HEY! WII HAS RATED M GAMES!" Your 35 Reasons are 35 pictures of rated M games, which only is one / 1 reason why Wii isn't just for little kids.

Wii is completely geared towards kids, and their rated M games, which Wiggy will back me up on, are terrible terrible ports. 1080p over 480p anyday. Because the games are suppose to looks like they are "drawn from a children's book" [Mii's], this completely supports the fact that the Wii is not for hardcore gamers. I will pay $60 compared to $50 for a PS3 than a Wii game just because of the graphics. If my friends cousins want to play any games at my friends house, they are only limited to the "children consoles", or anything that doesn't look realistic. So based off the fact that Xbox and PS3 are for serious gamers that do have a variety of kids games as well, my friends feel safer leaving the Wii unattended compared to the PS3 where they could easily place in Grand Theft Auto and getting some "Hot Coffee". They turn on the Wii, leave the room, and come back to the cousins playing Mario.

I have a Wii and I have not turned it on over a year. I have been basically thinking I should just pack it up and store it away for how much I even think of turning it on.

Your thread should more be:
1 Reason why Wii is not geared towards kids: 35 M Rated Games

35 M Rated games is NOT 35 Reasons why, it is only 1 reason.

I'm just labeling this guy as a troll

Might be giving him too much credit

Retro Deckades:
Equating graphics to "hardcore" gaming makes about as much sense as assuming good graphics make a good game. Someone may prefer high definition graphics (I'd bet that most of us do), but to dismiss games primarily based on their graphics or graphical style is asinine. I'll conceed that there are obvious example where terrible graphics are indeed found in terrible games, but there are many more examples (and recent ones at that, given the retro revival movement) which negate this assumption. It would be like saying that all games released prior to the PS3 are retroactively bad because their graphics are worse. For example, "That Yoshi's Island is a terrible game because not only are the graphics in standard definition, but they look like they were drawn in crayon!"

Perhaps I'm old fashioned, but I find some of my favourite games to be those that are not steeped in realism. Video games aren't reality, so I don't mind if an excellent game like Wario Land: Shake It! has a completely cartoonish presentation. Would I like it if it were in HD? Of course, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't still provide a fantastic experience.
